A Silicon-Carbon Battery Could Have Rescued The iPhone Air

No one ever said, "Geez, my iPhone is too fat; Apple better give me a razor-thin phone next time." Yes, I'm talking about the iPhone Air, Apple's manna for the fashion-obsessed vapid drones.

It is clear that Google's silicon design process has left quite a lot to be desired. Google is now loudly proclaiming its disdain for benchmark tests as the yardstick to measure the success of its silicon design process. Agreed.
